Looking forward from 30

Pedestrian Hell

I like getting pictures of these kinds of places as the sun’s going down and the lights are being turned on because of the effect of the glowing signs.

This is a picture of one of those soulless power centres that I got the other day. I was on Plaza Avenue waiting for a bus and got this shot as it was getting darker. This particular area of Moncton is just hell from a pedestrian’s standpoint: There’s a sidewalk that goes all the way down this side of the street but there isn’t one on the side of the road with the Future Shop. It goes for a short while from Mountain Road but stops abruptly, and there are no real road crossings except at Mountain Road and the Walmart (which is a distance away from the Future Shop). It really is more convenient to have a car in Metro.

I’ll be in Miramichi for the holiday weekend. Updates will resume next week.
